What should the height of a sewing machine table be. My hubby wants to make me one.
Another question..How do you make an ironing board that works good with quilts.. Thanks so much.. |
My hubby made me an ironing board something like the "Big Boards". The top is rectangle and measures about 22 x 60. I absolutely love it. Basically he made it out of a half a piece of plywood, and then put cleats on the under side so it would fit my traditional ironing board. I then covered it with a couple of layers of discount fabric.
Although when it comes time to iron an shirt, there's no pointy end for the sleeves. Oh, well. |
I think 29 inches or 29 1/2 inches is the standard.

Standard tables are 30" tall. I think a good height for a sewing table is 27-28".

I would sit down at the table and measure the height that will be comfortable for you. I am short, so my needs/comfort is different from most :D:D:D

I read somewhere that the height should be adjusted to the individual user. It's height from floor to arm-height (bent at a 90 degree angle) or a little lower. If it's higher, the sewer tends to pull up on the shoulders and tightening the muscles. ....and yes, my table is way too high. sigh

Other than fabric for quilts or WIPs, I couldn't tell you the last time I ironed. And I'm glad. :D :D
